We are now in the middle of stretching and the plants look very happy again.
They are growing by 2-3cm every day.
I don't know exactly why the plants are overwatered, but I think it could be due to my drainage. I'm an idiot, I unfortunately put this weird sock for root control from Autopot in the pot instead of in the Autopot base.
Otherwise, I'm very happy with how the plants are developing.
Of course, I'm a little annoyed that I lost a lot of potential by overwatering them.
But you always learn something new. 👽
Are you using a root control sock (made for fabric pots) or a root control disc/square (made for plastic pots)? I put my root control squares inside my pots, then the airdome with airbase, then my growing medium. Have found in the past if my medium isn't airy enough the plants get over watered as they don't dryback properly.
@Grow_for_Happiness, thank you very much for your message. I am very happy about your help. You are right, it is the control disk that I am using. Then everything is probably ok with that. Unfortunately, I have not used any air domes yet. But I also suspected that it could be due to the aeration. I also got myself a pump a few days ago. I am currently looking for a redneck engineering solution. Would you rather poke a few holes in the substrate and insert perforated hoses or put a hose in the base to bubble the water there? I would be happy to hear your opinion. Thanks and best regards 😊
@GroloCup, Thx! Currently they still need almost 1 day to drink a filling. I think it would have been better if I had waited a little longer, but unfortunately the holidays won't wait with me 😅
No way! I'll definitely keep an eye on your grow as we both seem to be trying out coco + autpots for the first time. I'm so excited how these things work out, all the best to you :)
